Story:Silent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.Show more

I've already played it on the emulator and I really liked it, I'm very happy to know that one day we'll have a PC version on GOG!! I used to play it on the emulator on my very weak PC, I also didn't have much money... but now I can buy it.

Meu jogo favorito de PS2 de silent hill e o mais dificil de emular até hoje não consegui jogar no pc. Amo demais a trilha sonora desse jogo, muitos julgam a historia, mas o Silent Hill Origins me marcou, pela dificuldade, ambientação e jogabilidade da epoca, parece até um sonho saber que a GOG, tambem esta se importando em realizar nossos sonhos... Esperando ansiosamente para compra-lo e a coleção das antigas do Silent Hill
I played it on the PSP during the long drives or in a different locations in the country when I couldn't really bring my PS2 and play it in a hotel room all day. The game is something of an enigma in how people feel about it, but being a kid I didn't care and thought it was deep enough in my mind as a kid. Gameplay was good enough for me to get through it. Felt good to beat it and to cross it off my Silent Hill game bucket list. Just because I beat it doesn't mean I wouldn't want to purchase it again. I'd happily fork down money for this game on GoG. If only as a means to show I support the cause of game preservation of a hidden gem where I can turn my brain off and feel smart whenever I solve a puzzle in said game without the internet helping me out.
An underrated entry in the Silent Hill series. Played it back on the PS2 way back when, and I suspect that it lost some of its atmosphere and dread for a lot of players by being released on a handheld system first. It really needs to be experienced on a bigger screen. Contains a great original score by Akira Yamaoka, as well.
